Remember when we were definitely getting a Granblue character on the Fighters Pass?

pyro would be pretty acceptable as well

I see no one noticed my Dota 2 suggestion. So it falls on me to suggest characters.

I hope you're all happy with Techies.

the dota 2 rep is actually n0tail

he functions like pokemon trainer and can switch between his signature heroes

So like are people mentally prepared if the next direct doesnt announce the next smash character?

Like I get its a good time to announce it, but I wouldnt put it past nintendo to simply not and do it another time.

I kind of want a mod/insider to make another leading comment, this time as vague as possible, because if we're going to talk leaks that could mean almost anyone, I'd at least like to have the leak itself be credible.

I'm about 60% sure we will get a character announcement but I could see it just being... nothing.

If we don't get one now I assume they will be announced after Banjo is detailed.

But I think it's gonna be like this:

September Direct: Fighter 4 reveal
October: Banjo breakdown and release
December: Fighter 4 breakdown and release
January Direct: Fighter 5 reveal
February: Fighter 5 breakdown and release

Okay looking at Twitter about Tracer being in Smash I'm surprised on how down some people seem to be about it. Guess that 4Chan post would be right that some people would say she would be confusing and disappoint some people.

I wonder if it's people who were really hoping for Crash.

I don't really care in a post-Banjo world, myself.

When was the last monday direct?
September 12th 2019 would be a Thursday. Like I feel like I've seen this reiterated multiple times.

With that said TGS would be ongoing around that time so that's why there's not alot of stock being put on this rumor

In my case at least, that's part of the reason. I'd get over having an overwatch rep eventually if they didn't guarantee that crash has no chance.

Even if I weren't legitimately traumatized by overwatch after playing it obsessively, I still would've preferred crash.

Alot of character fanatics. Banjo, Shantae, Doomguy, and while not a supporter I've seen someone say they'd take Byleth over her.

Of course that's what I found on Top Tweets because going any lower I started getting into fan content and eventually OW porn

No don't ask me you fucking degenerate

The idea of fighting against a fast zoning character with multiple teleports and the ability to rewind damage makes me a bit uncomfortable. At least in OW and HotS you had allies to help you deal with it :S

I'm fine with any character from a new franchise that makes sense. Overwatch in Smash feels like a cynical business move on Nintendo's part but Tracer has become a pretty big (if very recent) gaming icon and a legit lesbian in Smash would be pretty novel. I just... don't really care anymore after Banjo got in, lol. Nobody left that I want enough to be mad at their exclusion.

Smash Ultimate has more than catered to my personal tastes. I'm fine with this not being the case for the last two characters.

I'd take Tracer over most first party characters that aren't already Spirits/Assist Trophies.

I'd be fine with Tracer as Smash is sorely lacking Western made characters as a whole (Even with Banjo being added). Though I do agree that it would be an odd fit for many to accept.
I still want Jill though, RE is the last big Japanese franchise with nothing in the game that still also has nintendo history to boot.

I don't think Tracer would be zoning based at all. If anything I envision her being like Falcon with some Megaman like normals for her pistols.

Gonna be interesting in hindsight if the 4chan user ends up being true, but the fighter isn't Tracer lol.
It never said it was Tracer tbf. It just ended up fitting really well thanks to Overwatch Switch case leak that happened at the same time or rather people unearthing it when people started to speculate about Smash

I always knew Hitagi was full of it. The way they talked about things like "Banjo was never even on the table" made it obvious they were being fed BS. Nobody on that level has intel that close to the real deal.

I'm pretty sure Steve was leakbait.
Oh yeah, i've had a good laugh at some of their posts after E3.

They also said an Atlus character wasn't happening, lol. Only right on DQ because they blindly followed Vergeben.

I know. People are drawing the connections simply because the release date of a Switch carrying case lines up closely with that poster's date and Zhuge and Liam confirming a port to the Switch.

Is there any reason to believe the 4chan post?

Not really.

Everyone's had their fun. Get back to the usual business of arguing about Jill Sandwiches and how Sticker Star is your favorite Paper Mario game.

According to third party ports in the last year or so, Chosen Undead, Yuri Lowell, Leon Kennedy, and Doom Slayer are ALL going to be in Smash. Incredible.

What's the other thing?
A pretty popular IP that would be huge to have in Smash with a wide variety of recognizable characters that fit very well in the Smash aesthetic from a very notable and respected game developer. Not really hard to see why Overwatch could be in Smash tbh

Do we know if nintendo knew about the switch port a year ago?
Jeff Kaplan said the port would be difficult to make at their workload so I'd imagine this was something in the works for a while especially around Diablo III's release. I don't think an Overwatch Switch port would be something they would throw out in less than a year. Especially a polished Switch port
